i had a half orc once who was best friends with a half elf, ad the two of them constantly compete over who could score with the most b$@$$es, well one night the half or got drunk an ended up sleeping with a man and getting herpes...

From what I’ve seen so far, then, it seems that the sentience issue is the basic dividing line beyond the basic definition??? There may be exceptions, mostly stemming from social mores (alignment?), but in general the whole PC/NPC thing is non-germane.

So then, what qualifies one as “people”?

As exampled above (Queequeg, I believe?), “people” don’t eat “people”; and since intelligence (sentience) seems the basic benchmark we’re already trending towards for designating who is “people” and who isn’t, we now have to look at that ugly social more thing (alignment) to see how/if it modifies that definition.

Would it be fair to say that no Good alignment would eat “people”?
Would it be fair to say that no Lawful alignment would eat “people”?
So, there’s no way a Lawful/Good aligned creature (PC/NPC/Monster) would eat “people”…yes/no?

Would it be fair to say that most Chaotic alignments would eat “people”?
Would it be fair to say that most Evil alignments would eat “people”?
So, there’s every expectation that a Chaotic/Evil creature (PC/NPC/Monster) would eat “people”…yes/no?

If you have an argument why one of these alignments would act differently than described, (social more exceptions/justifications), please explain.

Then, what about the Neutrals (True or otherwise)? Does their basic perspective on this come strictly from racial/species descriptions/imperatives, from intelligence (sentience) modifications, from social mores (alignment structures), or from somewhere else? Or, all of the above?

Examples:
Would a Drow eating a Sylvan Elf be considered a cannibal? If so, by whom? After all, Drow and Sylvan Elf are both “people” (given the sentience benchmark so far), and very closely related genetically. If "sentience"="people", what would except the Drow (to themselves or others) from the cannibal label? A similar differentiation can effectively be made between Dwarf and Gnome, I believe, so consider that context as well.

I know this seems like it’s...

This relates to cultural relativism, if the L/G char comes from a place where when your father dies you eat him, then he would most defanetly be a "cannibal" where as a C/E char would burn his father because that disrespectful...so really cannibalism is never a good or evil thing it a where are you from thing...

A half ogre who takes spell casting levels and only so he can use polymorph self to turn in to a 14 year old and trick some perv in the town square to take her home with him then she tells him to wait in the room while she gets ready comes out in nothing but underwear and un-polymorphs then ask if he realizes what he is doing is wrong.

kobold's rock out loud, chck out stuff in the races of the dragon.
Like the Dragonwrought feat. the kobold now looses the dragonblooded subtype and changes to dragon, there for is not affected by the negatives of ageing but still the positives, so allready for te price for 1 feat you git +3 to int, wis, cha. then have him be magic-blooded(+0LA tempate gives -2 to wis and +2 to cha) now you have +5 to cha. take Versatile Spellcaster and and Practiced spellcaster, this is easy to do with 2 flaws 3 feats at lvl 1 so there are your 3 feats and now you have a very kick ass sorc

ok so this build relies heavily on everything being RAI. that being said,
